Bumhats

Post by andyrew » Thu Mar 21, 2013 8:13 pm

Well bummed is the word. Having been ridiculously busy at work
Since just before chrimbo. My zooks have taken a back step.
After the coach building project I was doing at work I had finished I was ment to have two weeks
Off to weld up the soft top. Then a work mate go signed off for an a cident he had. So that cancelled
Those plans. Now over the past few weeks ive developed a tingling in my hands and lower of my arms
And get white finger after just a short period of using vibrating tools. Going
In for tests to see whats up. But small possabilty my welding and grinding
Days are over. :cry: . Guess the yellow sami may be a no go. Gutted.

Man that really sucks to hear! Hope it's not a long term problem and you get it sorted!

You'll just have to get someone to do the grinding for you and then you do the welding ;)

I'm sorry to hear that vibration white finger is not nice, my father-in-law has it and he really suffers in the cold. At my work they are really keen and run HAVS courses every year, all our tools have been rated and are tagged showing how many hours you can use it for. I can't help but think your employers are responsible if it turns out to be white finger & not raynauds syndrome.

Sorry to hear that Andy.

Not quite sure what else to say. I know the kind of plans of you had and it's a real shame you might not be able to continue them.

Fingers crossed mate if you take it easy and don't do too much at a time you can build the Zuk you want.
